Virmad raises an eyebrow. “I can’t see what Quill would want to accomplish by trying to undermine the Lanterners’ campaign — Jedao did — does — will do that well enough by himself at Candle Arc; after that it was mostly just a matter of time.”
Unless... He stops and considers. “Actually, maybe that’s a premature assessment. The final suppression of the Lanterners happened at Hellspin Fortress, which is just beyond the Glover March. Jedao used exotic weapons called ‘threshold winnowers’, which...” He shudders. “In addition to wiping out the Lanterners in the fortress itself, they killed everyone in his swarm, and he personally murdered his entire command crew.” He closes his eyes. “There were...recordings.” He opens them again. “He was executed afterwards; there was never a satisfactory explanation for his behavior. Whatever Quill wants to do with the calendar, I think it’s fair to assume it will hinge on Jedao.”
[I can't remember exactly what details we're given about how Jedao ended up in the Black Cradle — I'm writing under the assumption that it didn't become common knowledge until the first time he got broken out of storage.]
